Examples of activities that may be funded through this RFP include, but are not limited to: physical habitat restoration within a stream; enhancement of environmental flow; improvement of riparian vegetative cover for the purpose of river restoration; reduction of pollutants to rivers; promoting the hydrologic interaction between the river channel and floodplain including bank lowering; and restoring dynamic channel processes such as accretion on new banks, bar building, and channel sinuosity. The removal of non-native phreatophytes will not be funded except as part of a more comprehensive river restoration project. Projects on government land will be considered. Projects on private land will be considered if there is a measurable benefit to the State of New Mexico and the public.
